Headliners

David Guetta

Double grammy award winner David Guetta cemented his status with 2009's multi-platinum One Love; a genre-busting hitmaker whose in-your-face fusion of electro and hip-hop beautifully warps the pop landscape. His track record has been impeccable for nearly two decades and he is now simply, a phenomenon. His name is synonymous with the world's greatest dance music and with parties that bring that music to life. David Guetta has sold over 20 million records worldwide, but despite his pop success, he is a DJ first and he has elevated the art to unprecedented levels.

Run DMC

From Hollis, New York, Run DMC are the fathers of hip hop and the biggest wearers of Adidas! They came to worldwide notoriety in 1986 with their hip hop and metal crossover, teaming up with Aerosmith on 'Walk This Way'. They also scored their first UK no.1 in 1998 when teaming up with Jason Nevins for the smash hit 'It's Like That'. Eminem inducted them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, making them only the second hip hop group in history to do so (the first being Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five).

Arcade Fire

Montreal's Grammy award winning indie-rock collective have grown from critically acclaimed cult heroes to stadium sensations across their five albums, with 2011's 'The Suburbs' picking up 'Best International Album' award at the Brits. Their now established baroque sound, embracing violin, cello, accordion, etc. then moved into a more electro direction on fourth album 'Reflektor' with LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy producing, while 2017's fifth album 'Everything Now' is perhaps their most eclectic release to date, taking in elements of Disco, Reggae, Country, Funk and Electro.

Clean Bandit

A classico-electronical collective. The core members Jack Patterson (bass, keyboards), Grace Chatto (cello) and Milan Neil Amin-Smith (violin) met while studying as undergraduates in Cambridge, later joined by brother Luke Patterson (drums). Their unique take on dance music sees beats collide with classical, where Baroque meets house and pop. Classing themselves as an 'electroquartet', and featuring a string of guest vocalists, they have been described as the new Disclosure with a chamberpop bent.
